Eternal Beast Taming Family

As soon as King Bingyue finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent, and even the expressions on the faces of the other kings in the hall cracked.

They'd seen plenty of bizarre things about these ancient kings, but they'd never seen a king so openly proposing marriage in public.

They even doubted whether they had imagined what they had just heard.

Despite the many surprised and scrutinizing gazes directed at him, the Ice Moon Venerable King remained calm and composed, maintaining his indifferent demeanor.

It was as if those words hadn't actually come from her mouth.

Faced with her words, Chu Shengfan, seated on the throne, gently shook his head.

"We are not really acquainted, and such a hasty decision is not a good thing for either of us, or for either of our dynasties. Let's talk about this later."

"Please, Lord Ice Moon, choose your city first."

Although not explicitly stated, Chu Shengfan's refusal was quite evident.

After listening to Chu Shengfan's words, the Ice Moon Venerable King did not show any embarrassment on his face. He simply nodded calmly and then selected five cities with superior environments and wealth on the original Tianxiang Dynasty map.

……

The commendation ceremony for this dynastic war has ended, but the bold remarks made by the Ice Moon King at the ceremony have been spread by many ministers.

It was just a simple sentence, but through the murmurs of many people, it has changed into several versions.

Some say that the Ice Moon Venerable King fell in love with the Mortal Venerable King at first sight, and thus couldn't help but boldly express his love during the solemn court assembly.

Some say that the Ice Moon Venerable King had already met the Mortal Venerable King when he was young, and fell deeply in love with him. He cultivated himself to such a level only to be worthy of the Mortal Venerable King.

Some say that the Ice Moon Venerable King and the Mortal Venerable King were a perfect couple in their previous lives, and they are destined to continue their bond in this life.

After such rumors, regardless of whether the news is true or false, at least the original inhabitants of the Mortal Dynasty have softened their attitude towards these royal families who have emerged from the forbidden lands.

……

"This Ice Moon Venerable King is a smart man, cough cough... With this gossip, at least their Frost Royal Family quickly established contact with the Mortal Dynasty."

It will be more quickly accepted by this land and its people.

In a courtyard surrounded by medicinal herbs and vines in Medicine King Valley, Chu Daoling overheard the latest news he had gathered.

Although he had not been there in person, he seemed to have seen through the original intention of the Ice Moon Venerable King, he concluded.

"Great-grandfather, you saw things clearly." Chu Daoling poured a bowl of clear, jade-green medicinal liquid onto the ground, and the faint, bluish-green medicinal aroma enveloped Chu Jingyu.

As the medicinal vapors spread, Chu Jingyu's weak aura seemed to stabilize considerably.

However, compared to half a year ago, his cultivation level has completely fallen to the middle level of the Spirit Realm.

Clearly, in the past six months, the Chu family has not found a good solution to the curse on him.

Accompanied by the shattered shadows of flowers and butterflies, Chu Shengfan's figure appeared outside the courtyard. He stepped into the courtyard.

"Sir, let's try a new treatment method today."

Chu Jingyu nodded indifferently. Ever since they moved to Medicine King Valley, Chu Shengfan had been taking out several methods to treat the curse on him almost every day.

Some of them did make him feel better, and some could even slightly restore his cultivation level, but in the end, they were all like a drop in the ocean, unable to save his gradually deteriorating body.

Seeing his grandfather nod in agreement, several different-looking but all-level Origin Beasts appeared beside Chu Shengfan.

No one knows how Chu Shengfan arranged things for them, but after they appeared, a spiritual aura emanated from them, a Daoist charm possessing purifying power.

It was slightly different from what the "Fairy Child of Fortune" released; the Daoist aura completely enveloped Chu Jingyu, making his ailing body feel relaxed.

A healthy blush gradually spread across his face, and even his spiritual realm showed a tendency to recover towards the higher level of the Spirit Rank.

However, this situation only lasted for a moment. The curse that had penetrated to the bone marrow and soul quickly returned in a frenzy, devouring all the purifying Dao energy that covered the surface of the body.

The joy that had just appeared on Chu Shengfan and Chu Daoling's faces instantly turned gloomy again.

"Ahem... Looks like these Source Beasts' skills aren't very useful either. Alright, alright, stop making that long face. Haven't you gotten used to it after all this time?"

Chu Shengfan silently put away the medicinal beasts, his expression somewhat somber.

Chu Jingyu stood up from the recliner, placed his hand on Chu Shengfan's shoulder, and said softly, "Come with me for a walk. It's been a long time since I've properly explored the scenery of Medicine King Valley."

Chu Shengfan nodded slightly, bent down slightly, and helped Chu Jingyu walk out of the courtyard with both hands.

The air in Medicine King Valley is perpetually filled with a faint medicinal fragrance. If one has any illness, simply inhaling this fragrance for a period of time can cure all ailments.

If one smells this medicinal fragrance regularly, it can even extend one's lifespan and make one's body healthier.

However, even this medicinal fragrance couldn't do much to cure the curse within Chu Jingyu's body.

The grandfather and grandson strolled peacefully and leisurely through the medicinal herb and flower fields, neither of them uttering a word to break the silence.

During this time, he encountered many rare and exotic medicinal beasts that were hard to find elsewhere. Chu Jingyu looked at them with his eyes and seemed to notice their peculiarities, nodding and smiling from time to time.

"You've managed Medicine King Valley very well, but while medicinal beasts are important, we can't forget to cultivate other types of source beasts as well."

Chu Shengfan nodded beside him, "I haven't forgotten. I plan to build a beast farm on the other side of Medicine King Valley in a while to specifically cultivate other types of source beasts."

"This Medicine King Valley is, after all, Grandpa Sun's last wish, and I want to run it well according to his original plan."

Upon hearing the familiar name from Chu Shengfan, Chu Jingyu's smile faded, and his mood turned somewhat somber.

"Yes, your Grandpa Sun has provided so much help to you throughout your growth, so Medicine King Valley should indeed be built according to his ideas."

Sigh... I just never imagined he would leave us so many years before me.

Everything seemed like yesterday, as if they had just been drinking and chatting together in a place called Heyu Town.

However, Chu Jingyu's expression quickly became relieved. After all, his days were numbered, and perhaps they could meet again in another world.

Chu Jingyu leaned slightly forward, looking at a flower in full bloom with vibrant colors, his fingers gently tracing its surface.

"The Seven-Flavor Spirit Flower is a spirit flower rich in emotional power, often used as a good medicine to treat mood disorders."

As soon as Chu Jingyu's fingers touched it, he could feel a surge of emotions—a mix of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty—all at once.

He chuckled softly, then moved his fingers away and asked Chu Shengfan a question.

"Xiao Fan, what do you think of that Ice Moon Venerable King?"

Chu Shengfan's face revealed a hint of helplessness. "Grandpa, you've heard those rumors too? You should be able to see that the queen just wants to get involved with the Fansheng Dynasty so that she can settle there naturally."

Seeing Chu Shengfan explaining so earnestly, Chu Jingyu smiled.

"In the end, although the queen is comparable to you in terms of strength, she is backed by a powerful dynasty, and there's no guarantee she won't have other ideas. It's best to marry someone you know well."

"My lord, I have no plans to get married for the time being. The most important thing right now is to cure the curse on you."

Chu Jingyu shook his head slightly, "I don't have much time left. While I'm still able to move around, if I can see you get married and have children, I'll have fewer regrets."

Hearing Chu Jingyu's words, Chu Shengfan fell silent. "There are so many medicinal herbs in the world, we're bound to find something useful..."

Seeing that Chu Shengfan was changing the subject, Chu Jingyu patted his arm, stopping him from continuing.

"Yin Yue is a good girl. She once accompanied our Chu family through thick and thin, cough cough... Now she is governing the dynasty for you. Don't you really have any feelings for her?"

If you really don't want to, Grandpa doesn't want to force you. I'll go back and make it clear to your mother that she will completely cut off any idea she wants you to get married.

It's really not good to keep Yin Yue in the prime of her life; frankly, it would be a disservice to the young lady...

Chu Shengfan remained silent for a long time, then slowly exhaled from his chest. His soft voice drifted gently into the field of flowers and herbs before him.

"Alright, I will personally propose to Miss Yin Yue."

Chu Jingyu, who had been speaking haltingly, paused slightly upon hearing Chu Shengfan's words, seemingly doubting whether he had misheard. He repeated, "What...what did you just say?"

Chu Shengfan had no choice but to repeat what he had just said.

Chu Jingyu clapped his hands and laughed, as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders, and he seemed much more energetic.

"Alright, alright... you don't need to stay here with me anymore, go and get ready."

Seeing his grandfather's anxious expression, Chu Shengfan could only cup his hands in farewell and leave.

After Chu Shengfan left, Chu Jingyu looked at the vast flower field in front of him and felt great. He hummed a little tune and strolled back to his courtyard.

……

Chu Shengfan and Xu Yinyue's wedding took place a month later.

On that day, the sky was bright, phoenixes sang, and a dragon chariot followed.

Chu Jingyu, whose cultivation level had fallen to the lower level of the Spirit Realm, always wore a cheerful smile.

For a long time, the Chu family members had not shown any smiles, but now their faces were adorned with smiles, as if the gloomy clouds that lingered over Wandao Mountain had lessened considerably.

After going through a series of complicated ceremonies, Xu Yinyue, who had grown up in the Chu family since childhood, finally became a true member of the Chu family on November 27th of the 300th year of the Chu Sheng calendar.

It was after the Venerable King of Mortal Life married and had a queen that all the rumors about his love affairs in the entire dynasty disappeared overnight.

However, the wedding was not without its regrets, as not all members of the Chu family were able to attend.

Even though Chu Shengyuan and Chu Daoxuan were in the Tianmo Desert, the signal was intermittent when they tried to send messages through the "Ten Thousand Mile Scroll," and they didn't know if the messages they sent had been received.

As for Chu Shenghan, needless to say, she has not yet awakened, so no matter how many messages are sent, she will not know.

Another month has passed, and the year is drawing to a close.

While the Fansheng Dynasty was preparing for the New Year, and the country was bustling with activity, the borders of the Tianyun Dynasty were in turmoil, and a large army was already pressing in.

Perhaps because the king of the dynasty had been away from the dynasty for a long time, and the rules of heaven and earth had fallen silent, the neighboring dynasties became aware of this and took advantage of this opportunity to launch a war.

Without hesitation, Nan Li quickly relayed the message back to her family after realizing the situation.

On that same day, Chu Shengfan arrived directly in the Tianyun Dynasty. With Chu Shengfan's arrival, the Dao principles of the Tianyun Dynasty, which had been dormant, were influenced by the royal aura and showed signs of becoming active again.

At the border between the Tianyun Dynasty and the Qinglan Dynasty, a Venerable King frowned slightly.

"Why are the laws of heaven and earth becoming active again? Could it be that the king of this dynasty has returned?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a portal to space slowly opened at the border, within the territory of the Heavenly Fortune Dynasty, and Chu Shengfan's figure walked out of the void.

"Your Majesties of the Qinglan Dynasty, with the year drawing to a close, why are you here at the border of my dynasty instead of celebrating the New Year in your own clans?"

Several kings stood in the void opposite. From a rough sense, there were two Venerable Kings and three True Kings. It can only be said that this is indeed a dynasty. They can easily send out a force capable of destroying the dynasty.

Upon seeing Chu Shengfan appear, the gazes of several Venerable Kings on the other side of the border fell upon him, and one of them even shook his head and spoke.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Qinglan, would like the entire territory of the Tianyun Dynasty as a New Year's gift. How about this Venerable King presents it to us with both hands, so as to avoid any bloodshed?"

Chu Shengfan shook his head slightly, "If you want me to offer it up with both hands, you few are probably not qualified enough."

"Arrogant!" Upon hearing Chu Shengfan's words, another Venerable King immediately shouted coldly.

At the same time, a source beast of the Venerable King rank appeared behind him. It was a jade-colored dragon with its eyes gleaming with a cold, raging light. Its domain expanded around it, and the world seemed to turn into the color of jade.

Endless blades made of jade solidified in the air, then transformed into a torrent of blades that swept across the border and engulfed Chu Shengfan.

Chu Shengfan's gaze fell on the powerful attack, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. The attack's probing intent was all too clear.

There were no source beasts appearing beside him, only a scepter composed of many royal artifacts. Chu Shengfan held the scepter and pointed it at the incoming attack.

As if governed by some kind of law, the terrifying torrent of weapons was swept across the heavens and earth, instantly shattering into countless petals that slowly drifted down from the sky.

The terrifying attack transformed into a shower of flowers that slowly drifted down from the sky.

Chu Shengfan's display of skill caused the several kings confronting him on the other side of the border to raise their eyebrows, seemingly somewhat surprised.
